The theatrical trailer of heroine Samantha and filmmaker Gunasekhar’s ambitious pan-India mythological magnum opus, Shaakuntalam is released today morning. To the trailer launch event, Samantha came along with the film’s main cast and crew.
Speaking at the event, Samantha got emotional and her heartfelt speech went viral.”We have been waiting for this moment this very long time. Very soon, Shaakuntalam movie will be releasing and today trailer launch. We are very happy with your response. And today, I took so much strength that I should definitely come here. I fixed to come here for the respect and admiration towards director Gunasekhar. For some people, cinema is just a part of life but for Gunasekhar sir cinema is only his life. He takes out every cinema with his life. He took out Shaakuntalam with all his life and hard work too. I hope to see your love and appreciation after the trailer launch and that’s why I came here”.
Sam also added “when we hear the narration, every actor hopes it comes the best but sometimes some magic happens that goes beyond our imagination and after I watched Shaakuntalam, that’s how I felt. It’s so much more than what I expected. I fell at Gunasekhar’s feet and said so so thank you, sir. And in life how many ever struggles I may face, one thing never changes that is how much I love cinema and how much cinema loves me back. With Shaakuntalam, I believe that your love for me will increase.”
Also starring Malayalam actor Dev Mohan, and senior artists such as Mohan Babu among others in key roles, Shaakuntalam will be out on February 17th in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam languages. Gunasekhar’s daughter Neelima Guna is turning producer with this ambitious poetic romance drama. Dil Raju is presenting it. The film also has Gautami, Aditi Balan and Ananya Nagalla in supporting roles. Mani Sharma is the music composer.
